Attempt at unassisted human flight at Grand Canyon ends in tragic failure |
2018-07-10 |
[Mail] A 24-year-old man fell 500 feet to his death at the Grand Canyon National Park just days before he was due to begin his career as a nurse. Andrey Privin, of Buffalo Grove, Illinois, lost his footing after climbing over a railing to get a better view at the Mather Point lookout area on July 3. Privin was supposed to start his job as a registered nurse at the Highland Park Hospital on Monday. Some witnesses said they saw Privin throw his backpack to an intended landing spot before jumping a gap at the lookout area. Safety railings, who needs them ? |

#6 I think P2K was thinking of this quote: “Stupidity cannot be cured. Stupidity is the only universal capital crime; the sentence is death. There is no appeal, and execution is carried out automatically and without pity.” ― Robert A. Heinlein |

#3 Gravity. It's the law. Stupidity is not a crime but can carry the death penalty. |
